Hi all I mentioned a few days ago that some one had hacked into the Deadmau5 website and also their webmaster tools account and added Viagra affiliate links.

I am surprised they have not still picked up this, the site is run by Virgin records and I have tried to email them.

Looking at the source code the hackers have used black hat in a hidden DIV to add a large amount of links to adult websites –

Another point is that this site is going crazy at the moment on Google Trends –
